What the heck is that?!? Are they converting Sabreliners for firefighting or are they trying to squeeze an extra passenger in there

Sensors or SLAR?

Certificated as "Experimental" and registered to Lock-Mart so it could be something exotic.

Looks like a radar system similar to those used by the E-8 and the RAF's Sentinels.  Lock-Mart was pretty far along in the testing of systems for the Aerial Common Sensor before that was scrapped, and a radar fit similar to this was a component in all of the competing ACS proposals.  The need for a replacement for several legacy SIGINT platforms still exists, so perhaps this is part of the on-again/off-again ACS bid.

Is this currently flying out of KGYR, or was this just a gas-n-go or something?

Really nice shots, Jason!
